I'm going to be doing this soon. I only "know" the people that I met at the interview. If you've ever done this yourself, could you share your experiences, how you coped, met new people, etc? I appreciate any advice that you might have!

I did it, it was tough. If I had to do it again I would but I would definitely try and create a social support network as soon as possible. Join some clubs, take a class, take up a sport, volunteer. Calling friends back home and having people come and visit me helped alot too. Good luck, dont let the fear stop you, if you dont do it you might always wonder what could have been!

I've done it several times, sometimes even overseas. It can be a very freeing experience. No one knows you, you have no history, you can get a fresh new start. I met my husband that way.
It wasn't all easy. I was even ostracized by some people in the office for months at a time, but I made a few friends right away who helped me through it. Get out and meet new people with different interests. Keep in touch with the old friends for moral support and fun weekend visits. It's a great opportunity for you.

Okay, it's going to take a little time, it has for me. I'm still not used to it and I've been here for over two months. I have a two year old so it's hard for me to get out and meet new people. I go back home every chance I get. I do realize, and you are going to also, that life is what you make of it. I will eventually like this town, I will meet more people. Join a church when you get there. It will take time, but look at it this way, you are officially an adult. Good luck.

yes. just make sure you don't bottle up to much and refuse to leave your room. it is all about how positive you allow yourself to be. a positive attitude really does transform how you view your surroundings and situation
